answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/06/2023 answer text <p>People with non-visible disabilities can experience difficulties or be disadvantaged in their ability to access services. Their difficulty can be exacerbated because service provider personnel are unaware of their disability and any different or additional needs they may have.</p><p> </p><p>During the pandemic, the green Sunflower Lanyard scheme gained popularity to indicate an individual's non-visible disability in relation to mask exemption. The Sunflower Lanyard scheme is recognised by some retailers and transport authorities as an indication that a customer or passenger may need additional help because of a non-visible disability. Some individuals prefer to make their non-visible disability known to others by wearing a <em>visible</em> indication of their disability - the Sunflower Lanyard scheme is one such option.</p><p> </p><p>However, this is a personal choice. It is not the Government's intent to promote any one voluntary scheme, nor to suggest that disabled people should feel that they have to make their disability known to others.</p> answering member constituency Corby answering member printed Tom Pursglove question first answered 09/06/2023 11:50:38 answering member 4369 label Biography information for Tom Pursglove
